"We Found Love" Stripped... not literally.

i just peeped out Rihanna’s new music video “We Found Love” a few weeks ago, and i have to say i’m in LOVE. i love the whole feel of the video, the edginess, the vibe it gives, that fine British boxer(YUM!) and especially the outfit choices. Rihanna is known for her off the wall clothing choices, but that’s what makes her, her. i just love her wardrobe..ughhh… … anyways, i wanted to point out what specific pieces i loved in the videos. ————————-> the high waisted Levi shorts and boyfriend jeans, the over sized jean jackets and flannels, the high knee socks, the stockings and garter belts, varsity jackets, crochet knitted hats and of course the doc martens and oxfords. 

Lets get started, shall we?…..

High Waisted Levi Shorts and High Waisted Boyfriend Jeans:

So these originated back in the 80’s & the early 90’s i guess they brought them back. I always loved high waisted shorts and these pretty shnazy. Usually they go above your belly button to create a hour glass silhouette when you wear them. They’re pretty easy to make from your mom’s old “mom” jeans from way back in the day. *laughs*

Examples:

Where to get them: Urban Outfitters, Top Shop, your local thrift shop, (you have to cut them accordingly tho).

Over Sized Jean jackets and Flannels:

So the ‘oh i borrowed my boyfriend’s (jacket/shirt) is cute now a days. The whole grungy effortless look mixed in with a few feminine piece is really appealing, idk i think its cute.

Where to Find it:(Flannels) Urban Outfitters, you boyfriend or brother’s closet, American Eagle, Abercrombie, Hollister, 78% of men’s stores.

(Over Sized Jean Jackets): your local thrift shop, Top Shop, Buckle, Macy’s, Dillard’s, ETC

Thigh High Stockings, Knee Socks, Garter Belts:

So about the Stockings and the garter belts, not a lot of people are bold enough to try them. But i think they’re so freaking fem with the high waisted shorts and some boots. *happy panda face* I wore some out the other night and i got looked at like this (O_O) but i liked it ;D

PS: don’t mind rihanna’s butt lol i had to post these up because of her Jeffrey Campbell oxfords & her thigh high stockings/garter belt :)

Where to get them: Vicky Secrets, Frederick’s Of Hollywood, Walmart, any department store.

The Varsity Jackets: These will NEVER EVER go out of style(well to me) it’s something about leatherman’s and varsity’s that are so cool. I think it’s because in high school if you played a sport & had one, you were indeed ‘The Shit’.

(You know what they look like (-_________-))

Where to Find Them: Forever 21, Karmaloop, MLTD, Ebay, Your local Thrift Store.

Doc Martens/Combat boots, Oxfords, & Crochet Hats/Beanies: The London look is seeping in to the states as we speak. Designers are including Jeffrey Campbell even Vans are designing their own type of Oxfords. It’s like an artsy twist to your usual shoe, but they are pretty dope. Doc Martens (Combat Boots) are another story, they just give you a kick ass look especially if you wear them with knee highs or thigh high stockings. And let us not forget about our beanies and crochet hats, such a mandatory accessory for the winter, fall, and early spring time.

Where to Find Them: Forever 21, Aldo, Van’s, Tilly’s, Karmaloop, Wet Seal, any Department store, Steve Madden, ETC

So……. these are the main pieces i liked in the “We Found Love” music video. If your opinions differ then let them be, these are my own personal opinions.
